The shock I heard in the voices of some of the national media personalities on Thursday as they reported a story about a Russian hacking attack against other countries which are trying to develop a Coronavirus vaccine surprised me.  Of course the Russians are  attempting to learn what others know and what others are doing to develop a successful vaccine. That’s what the Russians do isn’t it? Some of the talking heads were quick to bring up reported Russian hacks during the 2,016 presidential election.   that’s what we would expect them to do. The truth is that governments in the United states and  others  around the world, and companies in America and  other  countries are working hard to develop a vaccine that will bring the Covid19 pandemic to an end.  There would be considerable prestige for the country which finds success, and a gold mine for any company which is first to develop a vaccine that works.There’s plenty of reason to try to find out what others know, and what others are doing to create a vaccine that works, either legally or illegally. That’s the way I see it.
